"Germans in the Woods" from StoryCorps

I came across this short vid on YouTube... I thought it was interesting enough to post.


Short Video Caption:

"Joseph Robertson was an infantryman in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. The stark black and white images in this short haunt the viewer, just as Robertson is haunted by his memories from that battle."

What a GREAT idea! Stories like this (abet sad) would be lost if not for this media recording them. Thanks for posting

I remember seeing the actual interview on youtube a few years ago. A very touching story. I attempted to do the same here, but the quality is obviously much worse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQly9jpsK14
